Subject: | [Help-bash] Command completion for an alias |

Hi folks!My .bashrc defines some aliases like alias gs='git status'. I'd like to enable command completion for aliases so that when the command line is (| is the cursor):
$ gs |and I press Tab I'd like to see the completions as if I typed 'git status '. I found a bunch of resources demonstrating how to do this [1][2][3] but in my opinion they lack elegance. My question is: how to make completion work for aliases? If bash needs to modified where should I start looking in the source code?
